Special Events

In order to provide the highest level of service to the campus community, the computing and networking systems maintained by Information Technology require occasional downtime. To minimize the need for outages while classes are in session, Information Technology is planning scheduled downtime during which systems and networking services (e.g. email and web services) will not be guaranteed to be available. Although certain services will be available during all or parts of the scheduled downtimes, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to plan accordingly and not to be dependent on the services during the times listed below. We have scheduled a network downtime day for Saturday, December 29, 2012 starting at 6:00 AM and lasting until midnight.

On January 22, 2013 East Central University will be celebrating Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day. East Central will be hosting a dinner on his honor. At this dinner we will celebrate winners of the MLK Essay Award and the Spirit of MLK Service & Leadership Award.

Nominations are being accepted through January 21, 2013 by 5:00pm. Awards will be presented at 5:00 p.m. on January 22 at the MLK Dinner. The dinner will take place at the cafeteria starting at 5:00pm.

The MLK Jr. Celebration is hosted by the following partner agencies:

• The Office of the President
• Division of Student Development
